About the fully online part time course
The content of our course is delivered asynchronously through the Cambridge online platform and all access and study time will be done whenever a candidate has free time. The days and times of interactive sessions may be adjusted to the needs of different groups of trainees in different time zones but they are usually 6-7 hours long, a full morning afternoon or evening. Attendance to these live sessions is required.
During the live Zoom Meetings candidates...
… teach and observe others teach real students
… give and receive feedback about lessons taught or seen
… plan lessons with tutor supervision.
… attend progress tutorials in groups or individually
… attend interactive seminars and workshops
The timetable
Live sessions are on one full day a week a.m. or p.m. (for approximately 6-7 hours each time) for the following:
09:00-11:00 Teaching Practices
11:00-11:15 Coffee Break
11:15-12:15 Feedback to Lessons
12:30-13:30 Supported Lesson Planning
14:00-15:00 Online Live Seminar
Workload
This is a great option even if you are teaching although it does require setting time aside for study. We estimate an average of about 10 hours working independently on the course content, plus additional hours lesson planning and assignment writing. The days and times of these live, interactive sessions are adjusted to the needs of different groups of trainees in different time zones.
Candidates must study the course content on the Cambridge platform outside online contact time with tutor and students any time or day of the week they have available; they will be required to cover between 3-5 units every week and complete four short assignments during the course.
To participate
You will need a reasonably fast connection and a laptop or desktop with a web camera. You will also need a noise-cancelling headset with a microphone (not the one you use for your smartphone). This will allow you to participate and teach with no audio and and video issues. Our online/virtual classroom allows participants audio, video, text chat and screen sharing (standard tools in all live classrooms) as well as other great functionalities, such as dividing students into separate rooms in order to do group work.

About the Online (semi) intensive course
This is a full time course completed over 6 weeks but it has been organised in such a way that you do not need to be in a Zoom meeting all day every day of the week. We call this a semi-intensive course to distinguish it from the all day attendance Monday-Friday which is typical of our in-Athens intensive courses.
The timetable
Live sessions are on two full days a week a.m. or p.m. (for approximately 5 hours each time) for the following. Here is what a typical day on the course is like (subject to change depending on number of trainees):
09:00-11:00 Teaching Practices
11:00-11:15 Coffee Break
11:15-12:15 Feedback to Lessons
12:30-13:30 Supported Lesson Planning
14:00-15:00 Online Live Seminar
Workload
The content of our course is delivered asynchronously through the Cambridge online platform and all access and study time will be done whenever a candidate has free time.

We estimate an average of about 10 hours working independently on the course content, plus additional hours lesson planning and assignment writing. The 6-week course can be quite demanding and it is difficult to follow if you are also working. you will need to set a minimum of about 25 hours per week for attendance, study and lesson planning.
To participate
You will need a reasonably fast connection and a laptop or desktop with a web camera. You will also need a noise-cancelling headset with a microphone (not the one you use for your smartphone). This will allow you to participate and teach with no audio and and video issues. Our online/virtual classroom allows participants audio, video, text chat and screen sharing (standard tools in all live classrooms) as well as other great functionalities, such as dividing students into separate rooms in order to do group work.

It's suitable for for loca international student-teachers who are able to come and spend at least four weeks in Athens, ideal for anyone who wants to take advantage of our superb location to also have a great break before or after their course!!!
Timetable
Attendance is every day during weekdays (Monday to Friday); it is an all-day attendance course, usually from 09:00 – 17:00. Here is what a typical day on the intensive CELTA is like:
09:00-11:00 Teaching Practices

About the Blended & Mixed Mode CELTA
The blended and mixed mode course options have been introduced as alternatives for those candidates who want to attend online but want to do some or all of their teaching assessments with offline classes
1/ Blended mode course
The course content is delivered fully online, synchronously* or asynchronously** but the teaching practices are all done face-to-face over a short period (for example over 2 or 3 weeks) or, if the course is part time, over a longer stretch (for example over 8 – 10 weeks). This course delivery mode is ideal for working teachers who are comfortable learning online but want to experience teaching in face-to-face situations as this suits their local working prospects better.
2/ Mixed mode course
This means that the course content is delivered fully online, live (synchronously*) or in self-paced mode (asynchronously** ). Half the teaching practice lessons (4 in number) are taught face-to-face over a short period (for example over 2 weeks) and the other half are taught online, on Zoom. In this way, candidates experience both types of teaching, offline and online.
N.B. Both course delivery options are usually described as blended or hybrid, but Cambridge has introduced the term mixed mode to describe the two different practice teaching options.
How the Courses Work
Interactive meetings on Zoom are held usually on one full morning or afternoon a week on 10-week courses during the online part of the course. During the face-to face part of the course, sessions may take place twice a week (mixed courses) or four days a week (blended courses)
During the live Zoom Meetings candidates...
… teach and observe others teach real students
… give and receive feedback about lessons taught or seen
… plan lessons with tutor supervision.
… attend progress tutorials in groups or individually
… attend interactive seminars and workshops
